Louth Taverners were celebrating end-of-season silverware as the club hosted T20 finals day for the East Lindsey Cricket League Division One on Sunday.

The Sunday side, skippered by Zubair Ahmed, beat Frieston to lift the cup for the first time, capping a successful season which also saw them finish second in the league.

With a strong side out, Louth easily defeated Cleethorpes and reigning champions Frieston beat the same opposition to set up a winner-takes-all decider in the evening.

After winning the toss, Ahmed elected to bat first and Louth were soon on the charge. Following a calm start, Imran Cheema exploded the game into life in the fifth over by helping to smash 29 off one over with support from Laurence Scott, taking the score to 57-1.

Despite the loss of Cheema for 26, Henry Tye (25) played several powerful shots off his legs to push the scoring along in an innings which included four boundaries.
